Blueberry Croissant French Toast Bread Recipe
Sunday, August 25, 2013
I found a package of mini croissants the other day on the half off table and grabbed them right away. I had no idea what I was going to make but knew I wanted them for something and knew inspiration would strike later. On Saturday morning I decided I wanted French toast made with them and wasn’t exactly sure if in 15 minutes the croissants would soak up the egg custard mixture since it wasn’t setting overnight.
